The Mexia Oil and 'Gas" Com-
pany has arranged to have d
deep well put down in its field in
the next few weeks, WTork will
probably begin during the next
ten days.
Fov many months oil prespec-
tors have endeavored to .get. an
opportunity to drill in this field,
but the present plans are the
only ones that have matured.
The gas field here is one of
the best producers in the state,
and has attracted oil men from
as far north as Montana. The
men who have studied the game
seem to be of the belief that the
excessive gas near Mexia is an
indication of oil and no efforts
will be spared to thoroughly
test this field.
One of the most reliable dril-
lers in the State will put down
the well and will have Charge of
the development. Mexia is look-
ing anxiously for a good produc-
ing well, and from all indications
iwe are more than likely to suc-
ceed in this attempt.

Washington Sept. 10.—-Char-
actized as #n alliance and rjot a
League, which will breed ways
instead of securing : peace, the
German Peace Treaty, including
the Covenant of the, League -of
Nations, was reported to the,
Senate today by thp foreign Re-
lations Committee with forty-
five amendments and four reser-
vations, which will be discused
before the Senate in open ses-
sion. , i ,n
Every Republican member
with the exception of Senator
McCumber signed the majority
report stating that the changes
were governed by a single pur-;
pose and -that was to guard
American rights and soverignty
against invasion which will
"stimulate breeches, in faith and
encourage conflicts and, general
wars." .ikivf. I "imt
The reservations propose an
unconditional right to withdraw
from the League by the United
States and to accept any < legal
and moral obligations ,pf. Article
10 or jto accept a mandatory
from the League except by the
action of Congress. The United
States will reserve the right , to
determine the questions that
come under its jurisdiction anil
the dealing with the Monroe
Doctrine will be left to the Unit-
ed States alone. The principal
amendments propose equal vot-
ing power for the United States
with Great Britian in the Assem-
bly of the League of Nations. It
proposer t<*1 give to China, in-
stead of to Japan, the Shantung
Province, relief of the United
States from representation on
commissions' deciding matters
not interesting to it. Referring
to the fear that the League
would not I accept the Revised
terms, the committee said that
they would .-have to bec&use of
the fact that the League would
never have been a reality if it
had hot been for 6ur participa-
tion in the. war. \(> >':i fuo/iFni)

Sixty—>thfc last diitf'tb be built by
the Ford Motor Gbhipany Under
the stipulations of the war-time
contract with the Nevy Depart-
ment—was launched' at the river
Rouge (Detroit) yard August 16
at 3:30 P. M. and the long assem-
bling building which is a third of
a mile long and housed twenty
one of the submarine chasers at
a time, is already being transfer-
red into a body building plant
with a proposed output of 500
bodies daily. >
Ford officials, workers, sailors
and many invited guests wit-
nessed the launching. Number
Sixty was dressed with flags and
bunting and as it found its level
in- the Rouge and floated free
from the railroad tracks which
had carried it onto the elevator-
like launching table, the factory
whistle took tfart in the cere-
mony by blowing sixty blasts—
one for each boat launched at the
FOrd Yard.
Twenty-five "Eagles'* have al-
ready been commissioned by the
Navy, and it is expected that
the remaining boats will be en-
tirely completed by November
1st. One thing which greatly
prolonged-.the work was the
changes made in the outfitting
of the boats shortly after the'
armistice was signed. As rapid-
ly as the "Eagles" are commisM
sioned, they are joining differj-j
ent squadrons of the U. S. fleet
Six of the Ford boats are going
to the Phillipines to replace six
old destroyers and gun-boats:
another squadron will join the
International patrol of the coast
of China: "Eagles" 1, 2, and 3,
are now doing patrol duty ad-
jacent to Archangel, Russia, and:
|t:is..qi*ite probibly that a small
fleet wil) be sent to Italy.
"Eagles" were designed par-
ticularly to carry the submarines
detecting service or "listeners",
depth bomb protectors and three:
inch guns with which to combat
'the U-boat: once it had been lo-'
cated by the "listener.". They
are practically noiseless in oper-
ation, light, speedy and so con-,
Structed that a quick getaway is
possible—it being necessary to

ing down; a detected sub. Had
the submarine destroyers been!
called intolactual service—which,
only the signing of the armistice,'
presented—they would have op-'
eroted in flotillas of three.
Commander Nicholas, station-"'
ed at the Rouge Yard, said he
knew of. no statement or report
ik'sufed by the Navy Department
relative ! ,tfr the merits of the;
"Eagles" but that they have perU
tormed remarkably well on their;
trial trips and all tests given
them just before leaving the'
Ford Yard; And that had theyj
been called into actual service!,;
they would have proven a veryj
i ifofmidable tenemy to the subma^'
